Applies To
Outlook 2016

This article describes update 4486720 for Microsoft Outlook 2016 that was released on November 3, 2020.

Be aware that the update in the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home (see What version of Office am I using?).

Improvements and fixes

This update changes the default signature hash algorithm for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) messages and enables the administrator to manage them by using the following registry keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\ \Office\<version>\Outlook\Security.

Note This may be overridden by a user setting.

Registry key 1:

  • Value name: UseAlternateDefaultHashAlg
  • Value type: DWORD
  • Value data: Non-zero indicates that you should use an alternate default signing algorithm as specified by the registry key DefaultHashOID.

Registry key 2:

  • Value name: DefaultHashOID
  • Value type: String
  • Value data: OID of alternate default signing algorithm. Default is SHA1 if this registry key is missing.
    Note This registry key does nothing unless UseAlternateDefaultHashAlg is set to non-zero.

Registry key 3:

  • Value name: DefaultHashParam
  • Value type: Binary
  • Value data: ASN1 encoded algorithm params for alternate signing algorithm. Default is NULL if this registry key is missing.
